>>76292707Post-WWII, we started migrating in the direction of full employment. This drove down wages by doubling the size of the potential employee pool. At the same time, we increased productivity and eliminated most blue-collar manufacturing jobs by offshoring manufacturing to the third world, suppressing wages. This created a need for the low-pay, low-skill jobs which women almost exclusively are employed in.
To legitimize these new jobs the college curricula to support the "soft skills" that these jobs require were created, creating a need for professors and instructors for these classes, increasing the number of women in higher education, and ultimately "feminizing" education.
So now it's possible to get a degree in something that leads to a career in something requiring "soft skills" like HR, "DEI coach", or any job which is described as "intersectional". These jobs produce nothing and are a net revenue drain on any company, but a modern company cannot exist without them because of the number of indices that exist for the sole purpose of punishing companies that do not employee women in these roles.
